D-500 This June, while riding the SL&RG passenger train, I disucssed with Don Shank (of Creede Branch/SL&RG RR) who might be trying to save this loco. Don indicated he was trying, but no progress yet. Loco is being vandalized/looted by folks who can walk in.
Track: about 5 years ago, while driving from San Louis to Taos I noticed about a mile or so of abandoned, mostly sand covered rails along the highway, presumably the tracks in question above. The existing yard and connecting tracks at Blanca are heavily grown with weeds, blowing sand would take a bit to run a motor car over.
